Movies about suicide?

[Sunoo]

I've watched this movie a while ago called Himizu and in summary it is about a young boy with depression and he sees no meaning in life and tries or repeatedly dreams of ctb. It's been my comfort movie ever since. I find movies where the character is going through the same thing as me comforting so I would like if any of you have any recommendations?

i don't fantacize about death in any way. but i'd like mine to be over. there was... oh yeah - that thread about 'do you like to watch suicide videos'. i've seen it so many times the past few days. there was also another one about bridging ctb and hmde? made that last acronym up. i have no interest. none at all. few members seem to. not surprising. i'd like to leave without any hate. what would it really matter? pretty sure there were ctbs in movies i watched but a movie about it? i'll pass.

Not about ctb, but I know of some good ones about mental struggles if u want me to share

The discovery, I don't remember if it was good though.

"A Man Named Otto" struck a chord with me. But age appropriate for us older folks.

[steppenwolf]

Steppenwolf (1974) after the 1926 novel by Hermann Hesse. Here's a taste:

 

[Oneness]

A TV series about a man who loses his wife and becomes suicidal: After Life



Also the first season of a series called "13 Reasons Why" is a good series about suicide IMO.

Oh also, Meloncholia. While not strictly about suicide, there are themes, and is a very dreary film

The suicide manual 2003 , still available for free on youtube, the opening scene is great.

i ended up watching this last night, it was surprisingly good

 

[a_depressed_lizard]

2 Arms 1 Head is really good, not a film but a book written by a paraplegic philosopher, talks a lot about death and suicide as he kills himself, the ending was written while he was actively dying

Aftersun (2022) broke me to pieces. I can't recommend it enough

 

[voyager]

Always liked Dead Poets Society (1989), Ben X (2007) and Soylent Green (1973). Now that (!) is what suicide should be like, completely unrestricted, peaceful, comfy, anytime and you get made into biscuits for other people. How cute is that?

Harmonium (2016) has a beautiful suicide scene (the movie's good too), it's not graphic but one should use headphones or proper speakers for full appreciation (pw: dive).


PS: Louis Theroux documentary "Choosing Death" was also very interesting. Made me research the method and brought me here.

EDITPS: Had forgotten "The Bridge (2006)" it's a documentary film on jumping from the GGB/SF, some of the friends and relatives were absolutely amazing in that.

I see, then perhaps give aforementioned Ben X (2007) a try. It's a Belgian-Dutch film about an adolescent suffering from Asperger's getting bullied at school and struggling with life in general. It's really good.

Conrad & Michelle: If Words Could Kill

the movie is based on Conrad Roy's life before and after he committed suicide and his girlfriend Michelle who encouraged him over text messages to do it. She basically guided him until his last breath.

Their story is very interesting
